Dru Yoga is a synthesis of ancient yoga methods adapted to the modern day world. Dru Yoga can wash away stress, ease back pain, increase energy levels and relieve the pressures of modern living. It is a flowing style of yoga with an emphasis on soft joints, the breath, visualisation, core strength and spinal mobility to achieve balance in the body and mind. It is gentle and therapeutic so is available to all. All Dru classes will involve most of these elements. Activation or warm up Using dynamic flowing movements all the bodily systems are activated, which enhances circulation and in- creases our awareness of the body to prepare for the class. Energy Block Sequence (EBR) These sequences systematically mobilise the joints and muscles and in particular the spine releasing tension allowing the body to soften and energy to flow. They help us to detox from the inside out, release negative patterns, restore emotional balance and direct us towards achieving our goals. Asana or Posture Dru Yoga incorporates many traditional yoga postures (positions that you hold the body in) but presents them in stages and with modifications so they are achievable by everyone. Each posture has its own benefits for the body, organs and emotional wellbeing. Dru Yoga Sequences Sequences of flowing movements in synchrony with the breath and soft joints direct the body's own natural healing and empowering responses to where they are needed. Pranayama or Breath Control An ancient yogic science, that deals with the control of the life-force or energy within our body. This is achieved by the practice of various breathing exercises. Relaxation A 4 stage deep relaxation will enable you to deeply relax and heal your body. The benefits of your Dru Yoga session are integrated during a deep relaxation. Meditation Meditation is a practice of concentrated focus upon a sound, object, visualization, the breath, or movement to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance personal and spiritual growth.

  • Meditation Courses 2 About Dru Meditation
    MEDITAtiON COURSES 2 ABOUT DRU MEDITATION What is Dru Meditation? We like to define meditation as the perfect balance between alertness and relaxation. It doesn’t matter if you practise in a chair or sitting cross legged on the floor, it’s all about quietening the mind and stilling the body. Dru Meditation is about finding a still inner point from which you can look at the world in a different way and discover a fresh, new perspective on your life. Discover your inner stillness We take you deeply into the science of meditation, showing how to bring your awareness from the physical body, through to the deepest layers of your being. You will learn to access a deep inner peace, no matter what challenges you may be facing in life. Dru Meditation uniquely makes a focus of the five koshas, which are the different levels through which we experience the world. You’ll discover powerful breathing techniques (pranayama), kriyas and concentration techniques. ABOUT DRU MEDITATION 5 Stages of Dru Meditation Stage 1 Dru Meditation starts with a gentle awareness of the body and breath. This mindful awareness reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, chronic pain and insomnia. You can experience these health benefits at our workshops or retreats. Stage 2 The next stage of Dru Meditation takes us from just observing our mind to understanding the vast landscape of our consciousness, described in the yogic tradition through models such as chakras and koshas. If you attend the Foundation course, you will learn this more refined level of practice, to help you understand how the body, energy, emotions and thought are linked.

    DPN Dru Professional Network Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct DRU YOGA TEACHERS Effective from 23 September 2015 Replaces all previous documents relating to professional conduct DPN Dru Professional Network Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct DRU YOGA TEACHERS Effective from 23 September 2015 Introduction Dru (UK) Ltd asserts its intellectual right as the creator and provider of the Dru Yoga Teacher Training Course. The Dru Professional Network is the professional body for fully qualified teachers and student teachers of Dru Yoga. This Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct applies to Dru Yoga teachers. Successful graduates of the DYTTC who pass their final assessment and join the Dru Professional Network (DPN) may describe themselves as ‘Registered Dru Yoga teachers’ referred to in this Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct as ‘Dru Yoga teachers’. As a result, only Full Members of the Dru Professional Network who have graduated from the DYTTC may call themselves Dru Yoga teachers. Dru Yoga teachers are eligible to receive the benefits and support that membership of the DPN brings. Dru Yoga teachers may use the abbreviation DPN(Y) after their name to denote DPN membership. The conduct of a Dru Yoga teacher may affect not only an individual student, but also the reputation or standing of the profession. It is therefore important that Dru Yoga teachers uphold the following standards of ethical and professional conduct. Dru Yoga teachers must work within the legal framework of their country of residence. This code does not address in detail the range of general obligations that apply to teachers such as those under privacy, child protection and anti- discrimination legislation.

  • Century Britain: the Lived Experience of Yoga Practitioners
    Yoga Practice in 21 st Century Britain: The Lived Experience of Yoga Practitioners Chizuko Hunt Thesis submitted to De Montfort University in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Study 2010 Abstract Yoga Practice in 21 st Century Britain: The Lived Experience of Yoga Practitioners This thesis investigates the nature of ‘the self’ modern yoga practitioners cultivate. This ontological question is further divided into three sub-questions to find the answer step- by-step. They are: (1) How yoga practice influences practitioners' health and well- being; (2) How yoga practice influences the management of life crises; (3) How yoga practice influences the ‘sense of self’. Modern yoga in the West has been expanding rapidly after the Second World War, and the last 15 years in particular show an exponential growth. Although the numbers are hard to estimate, there were reportedly over 2.5 million practitioners in Britain alone in 2004 (Singleton, 2008). Similar numbers of yoga practitioners were reported in other countries (Strauss, 2004). However, the modern form of yoga practiced in Britain is not the same as the Indian traditional form of yoga. In Britain, the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) officially represents the majority of the yoga population. This study has used hermeneutic phenomenology, chiefly that of Heidegger and of Merleau-Ponty, as a research methodology, because it enabled the researcher to understand the subjective lived experiences of modern yoga practitioners. For data collection, 15 in-depth interviews of BWY members, selected using the snowballing and theoretical methods, were carried out. Through analysis, six major themes emerged.

  • Wellbeing for Sale: Representations of Yoga in Commercial Media1
    Wellbeing for sale: Representations of yoga in commercial media1 LIINA PUUSTINEN University of Helsinki MATTI RAUTANIEMI Åbo Akademi University Abstract This article focuses on how spirituality and commercialism are inter- twined in the representations of yoga in the media. For this study, articles on yoga were collected from seven Finnish popular magazines, and analyzed using qualitative close reading guided by sensitizing concepts of subjective wellbeing spirituality and prosumerism. The results show that looks, wellbeing and health are found to be the main selling points of yoga, whereas spirituality is used as a distinguishing device and a tool for constructing a consumer identity associated with ‘spiritual’ values. The material also raises questions on the possibility of anti-consumerist trends within contemporary yoga. Keywords: yoga, spirituality, wellbeing, consumer culture, media repre- sentations According to a recent survey there are roughly 100,000 – 200,000 practition- ers of yoga in Finland (Gallup Ecclesiastica 2011). Another survey gives an estimate of 62,000 active practitioners and 64,000 potential practitioners (Suomen kuntoliikuntaliitto 2010). In 2008, the national broadcasting cor- poration YLE ran a headline on their website: ‘Finns are yoga enthusiasts’2 commenting on the high interest in yoga in proportion to the country’s population of five million. Yoga’s current global popularity is evidenced, and likely also produced, by the fact that it is often featured in various types of 1 We thank the editors in chief of Cosmopolitan, ET, Hyvä Terveys, Kodin Kuvalehti, Me Naiset, Sara and Sport magazines for giving a permission to use the data, and Jenna Parmala for data collection.
